MILWAUKEE — Saturday afternoon, the village that is the 227th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) gathered on the first floor of the Baird Center to learn more about the work of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and its partners in the Greater Milwaukee area and globally.

It was also a chance to gather swag from stickers to garden tools made from the parts of guns, see old friends, make new ones and take lots of selfies.
